The 42nd Anniversary Earth Day 2012 campaign is designed to provide people with the opportunity to unite their voices in a call for a sustainable future and direct them towards quantifiable outcomes. From Myanmar to Washington, D.C., people turned out to draw attention to global efforts to protect the planet.

For Earth Day 2012 we are mobilizing the planet simply to say one thing:- the Earth won't wait. It seems that environmental issues have been put on the back burner as we are in the midst of a global recession. It is time for us to Mobilize the Earth™ and speak with one voice, one message.

THE World Water Day is an annual event celebrated every March 22 and it grew out of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The World Water Day, which has a theme annually, has as theme this year, ‘Water and Food Security’ and as such, the programme this year is hosted by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO).

According to the United Nation's report states that there are seven billion people to feed on the planet today and another two billion are expected to join by 2050. When a billion people in the world already live in chronic hunger and water resources are under pressure we cannot pretend the problem is 'elsewhere'.

The United Nations, on the occasion of this year's World Water Day, urged people to note that, coping with population growth and ensuring access to nutritious food to everyone call for a series of actions we can all help with.

Such actions include following a healthier, sustainable diet; consuming less water-intensive products; reducing the scandalous food wastage as 30 per cent of the food produced worldwide is never eaten and the water used to produce it is definitively lost and producing more food, of better quality, with less water.

About Me

No matter what you might think of this new fad-being green , the idea of living in a more environmentally way is something which is everywhere. But when it comes to being green, there are many who are struggling to get the message out, others who are simply not ‘getting’ what free means and there are still others who just simply don’t care. Let’s face it – we don’t like change. No matter how much we say that we do, we really don’t want to change anything about our lives until there’s nothing else that we can do.I am simply a woman who try to live a worthy life .
